it’s Friday the 13th!

Are you the superstitious? Then these are just some of the
things you might want to avoid!

1. Pass a funeral procession

Some believe that if you do, you might end up with some form
of misfortune the next day.

2. Give birth

The child might come across bad luck for the rest of his/her
life.

3. Change the bedsheets

You risk having bad dreams.

4. Cut your hair

You might end up "snipping" the life of a family
member.

5. Cut your nails

You might experience more bad luck for the rest of the year.

6. Start a new job or open a business

Naysayers could tell you that it will eventually collapse or
become bankrupt. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and
other disasters since the 1800s.

7. Begin a trip

Problems might crop up. The most famous example of unlucky
13 is the Apollo 13 mission. It was launched at 13.13 hours and was aborted on
April 13.

8. Embark on a sailing trip

Like the one about travelling, ships should think twice
before leaving the harbour this day.

9. Consult a fortune teller

You might not like the news you hear. Also, going to see an
astrologer on a "13" day goes against the principles of astrology.
Think about it: There are just 12 zodiac signs and 12 months in a year.

10. Leave your calendar on the day marked Friday the 13th

You might end up with tons of bad luck. According to legend,
the Norse goddess Frey (Friday) came down to Earth and gave a coven of witches
her cat. Covens usually gather in groups of 12, but the addition of Frey's cat
made the coven 13. Some believe that the 13th coven member was actually the
devil!
